Recipe

  1. 1

    In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat until the butter has melted.

    Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning evenly over the shrimp, coating them thoroughly.

  4. 4

    Place the seasoned shrimp in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside.

    Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, and toss them in the creamy Cajun sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, ensuring the shrimp are heated through and coated with the sauce.

  7. 7

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  8. 8

    Garnish your Keto Creamy Cajun Shrimp with chopped fresh parsley and sliced green onions if desired.

  9. 9
